Minor party and independent candidates are very occasionally elected, usually to local or state office, but the United States political system has historically supported catch all parties rather than coalition governments.

Following the European colonization of the Americas, the United States became the world's first modern democracy after its break with Great Britain, with a Declaration of Independence in 1776.

The ideology and policies of the sitting President of the United States commonly play a large role in determining the direction of his political party, as well as the platform of the opposition.

Former Northern Ireland striker Jimmy Quinn has been appointed the new assistant manager at PeterboroughUnited.

Quinn, who resigned from his post as Shrewsbury Town boss last month, is already familiar with current Peterborough boss Barry Fry as he served under him as a player at London Road back in the late 90ís.

And it looked all over when Ahmet Brkovic headed in his third goal of the season from Steve Robinson's free kick 15 minutes from time but Peterborough pulled one back when Willcok converted and Luton had to survive a ten minute onslaught.

Having grown up with Star Trek and watching the original series from its first screening in the UK (in black and white!) I can't say how good it is to actually be able to sit down and watch each episode as and when I choose.

The icon that is Star Trek is nearly forty years old, and it's about time that the Original Series was given the DVD treatment.

United won the FA Cup in 1983 and 1985 and were overwhelming favourites to win the league in the 1985-86 season after winning their first ten league games, opening a ten-point gap over their rivals as early as October.

United made a poor start to the 2005-06 season, with team captain Roy Keane leaving the club to join his boyhood heroes Celtic after publicly criticising several of his teammates, and the club failed to qualify for the knock-out phase of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in over a decade.

United appointed Sir Matt Busby as manager after the Second World War, and his then-unheard-of policy of producing most of the players through the club's youth team brought great success, with the club winning the Football League in 1956 and 1957.

United have also won 22 games; if they were to win their remaining six, the 28 victories would match their record number of top division wins (in 1957 but in a 42 game season) and set another Premiership record, beating the 27 games they won in 1994 and matched by Blackburn Rovers in 1995.

United have yet to lose at home and if that record is maintained it will be the seventh time in their history that they have achieved that feat.

With six games still to play United could claim records for the number of goals they have scored, their margin of success and amount of victories.
